Frustrating it is.


I searched for a alternative. Have a look, the holder is very small, easy and good, the cable isn't long and will do just fine, it is still clean in the car because I hate 'stuff' around me.

Have a look at this app as well, not sure you guy's heared about Coyoté.
This 'Waze' is a free alternative on it. It is a navigation and is used to share traffice info.

Thanks for posting this. I love the look of the smartphone mount you mentioned. I'm a fan of Waze too. I use it all the time when I'm using my other car - even though it has Nav, albeit crappy. With this mount, it'll make it easier for me because mine keeps falling off especially on a sunny day. Not to mention that I think the windshield mount takes away a couple thousand dollars off from the value of the car (Ha ha ha).

I almost bought the iPhone 5/5s adapter for the X1 but my dealer told me that it only supports basic functions. I was advised to wait since a newer version will come out soon. The SA told me that it's scheduled to come out early 2014 but I haven't heard of any announcement from BMW yet.
